The NSS Development Team announces the release of NSS 3.16, which is a minor release.
The HG tag is NSS_3_16_RTM. NSS 3.16 requires NSPR 4.10.3 or newer. Support for the Linux x32 ABI requires NSPR 4.10.4 or newer. The following security-relevant bug has been resolved. Users are encouraged to upgrade immediately. * Bug 903885 - (CVE-2014-1492) In a wildcard certificate, the wildcard character should not be embedded within the U-label of an internationalized domain name. See the last bullet point in RFC 6125, Section 7.2. New functionality: * Supports the Linux x32 ABI. To build for the Linux x32 target, set the environment variable USE_X32=1 when building NSS. New Functions: * NSS_CMSSignerInfo_Verify New Macros * TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, etc., cipher suites that were first defined in SSL 3.0 can now be referred to with their official IANA names in TLS, with the TLS_ prefix. Previously, they had to be referred to with their names in SSL 3.0, with the SSL_ prefix. Notable Changes: * ECC is enabled by default. It is no longer necessary to set the environment variable NSS_ENABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS. To disable ECC, set the environment variable NSS_DISABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS. * libpkix should not include the common name of CA as DNS names when evaluating name constraints. * AESKeyWrap_Decrypt should not return SECSuccess for invalid keys. * Fix a memory corruption in sec_pkcs12_new_asafe. * If the NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE environment variable is set, skip the runtime test sdb_measureAccess. * The built-in roots module has been updated to version 1.97, which adds, removes, and distrusts several certificates. * The atob utility has been improved to automatically ignore lines of text that aren't in base64 format. * The certutil utility has been improved to support creation of version 1 and version 2 certificates, in addition to the existing version 3 support.
